i recommend you not even consider testing for a specific scanno
unless you suspect that it will return more hits than false-alarms.
then i would collect data from every test, to _ensure_ that it does,
and stop using any that do not. that's a very high bar to clear, but
if a test returns more false-alarms than hits, it's wasting my time.
it is more important and valuable to build an infrastructure which
acts quickly and efficiently on error-reports from your community
than to waste the time and energy of your digitization volunteers.
sadly, p.g. never gave itself the opportunity to learn that lesson...
